My lovely friend Natalie of Canned Fashion recently drew my attention to the Jil Sander SS11 market bag - a plastic shopping bag that looks very much like a, ummmm, plastic shopping bag. Is this not the ultimate homage to trashion? As much as I would love to go out and buy this bag - for...

The Jil Sander Market bag may be entirely simplistic, but the design continues to garner attention. Amanda compared this bag to Maison Martin Margiela already and now I am going to have this Jil Sander bag battle itself. With many renditions coming out, it is time to hear what you all...

Finally, rip the tissue off and you have yourself your very own Jil Sander inspired market bag!

Even though no one asked, here's my prediction for 2012 - the most DIYed item will be the Jil Sander paper lunch bag. Much like the Jil Sander Market Bag(that looked pretty much like a plastic bag) - this lunch bag was seen at the Jil Sander Mens F/W12 show and is sure to be a hit with DIYers...

Raf Simons has redefined Jil Sander bags. Which should come as no surprise. He's a forward-thinking designer who calls finding the middle ground between two extremes the "interzone." This bag isn't what I would call it extreme, but it is extremely covetable. It's in keeping with the founder's...

Then came...

A quick glance at either the Jil Sander Market Bag or the Maison Martin Margiela Oversized Leather Shopper will let you know that the structure of these bags isn't some sort of new fashion invention. In fact, they closely resemble the shape and structure of a Target shopping bag, except...

To get the look without investing in expensive ready-to-wear, look no further than the Jil Sander Market Bags in the same bombastic brights as the line's clothing. With great leather and a three-figure price tag (not to mention the cache of being from one of the season's most important...

This shoulder bag with the same frame design is smaller and more casual because it allows more freedom than the strict crook of your arm use. You can use this for evenings, well, unless you are super low maintenance, this will not hold enough for work AND play, so this is actually only good...
